"Holy crap?!"
"Savior!!!"
"Cough cough cough... Qinghan, and [Number Two], we have guests!"
Zheng Hao was overjoyed.
He touched the shiny black ring on his finger, and seemed to hear a soft whisper in his ear: "You...are mine!"
"ah?!"
The sound was so fleeting that Zheng Hao wondered if he had imagined it.
"Tsk..."
Jian Qinghan silently put away the whip, walked to the door with a resentful expression, and opened the door!
"OI——"
"Zheng Hao! I'm here to tell you something! Yun Yang and I have brought you some inside information!"
Yang Fan, all smiles, had just peeked through the crack in the door when he saw Jian Qinghan's murderous glare. Confused, he scratched his head and forced a smile: "Hey? Sister-in-law, who upset you?"
Tell me, and I'll take care of him for you!
"fine..."
"Come in!"
Her resentful gaze was fixed on Yang Fan, who felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly pulled Yun Yang into the bedroom.
The bedroom is actually quite large, about 40 to 50 square meters.
It includes a small living room and a wall-mounted TV.
As soon as the three navigators met, Jian Qinghan acted like a submissive wife with her child, obediently pulling Number Two to sit on the bed.
After exchanging pleasantries with Yang Fan and Yun Yang, Zheng Hao sat down at the coffee table.
"What a rare guest..."
"Why didn't you two go to train and warm up for the 'Death Wheel'? What made you come to me?"
Zheng Hao joked and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
"this..."
After taking a tactical sip of water, Yun Yang remained silent.
Yang Fan slammed his hand on the table, flashing a bright white smile: "Hey—we...we're not planning to participate in the [Death Wheel]! As for the subsequent [Advancement Finals], we're not going either!"
"We... this is where we'll stay with you!"
"ah?"
Why?
Zheng Hao was somewhat taken aback by Yang Fan's words.
[The Three Heroes of Chuhai], he thought he could meet them in the finals!
But now...
They were about to leave.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Hi..."
"A person should have self-awareness!"
"We watched your [Giant City Ruins Tournament] and realized how incredible the later stages of the competition are! Reaching this point is already quite an achievement for both Yunyang and me..."
"I heard that Zhou Zhong also gave up on the 'Death Wheel' race..."
"I guess... they're afraid of dying on the track!"
"The honors he has received so far are enough for him to become the new [King of the Distant Mountains]!"
Yang Fan spoke casually, a smile on his face, but Zheng Hao could sense a hint of resentment in his words.
Yes!
I'm not reconciled!
but...
The next match is crucial for advancement in the [Grand Tournament], and all the families will fight with all their might. These smaller families simply can't compete! Getting this far has already been quite an achievement!
"Why..."
"Is it a plot-driven death?"
Zheng Hao looked at Yang Fan and Yun Yang with some regret.
In the typical storyline, those hometown friends will inevitably fade away at some point because their strength can no longer keep up with the protagonist.
Now, we've reached that point ourselves!
"Let's not talk about us anymore!"
"If you didn't have the [Möbius Ring], we would have advised you to stop now!"
"The 'Death Wheel Race' is said to be a dangerous racing event that the 'Ship Federation' has been planning for a long time. This race is not only designed to be dangerous, but also a contest of past champions and family traditions..."
"The [Shipping Federation] has decided to send last year's champion, Mr. Ye Han, to participate. As a novice like me, it's only natural that I should step up!"
Yun Yang picked up the conversation, his eyes filled with melancholy.
Ultimately, he also wanted to compete.
But he...
I'm even more afraid that something might happen to the Mirage!
"I see..."
"If the [Shipping Alliance] sends Ye Han, then Lei Yun probably won't be competing either, right? He's the only confirmed opponent among the champions..."
Zheng Hao murmured something, and Yun Yang nodded, taking out a file.
"I'm not participating in the competition anyway, so I've already calculated the results for you. Here are your opponents for this competition..."
Unfolding the file, one finds a dense record of the people Zheng Hao knows.
[Luke Weather Forecast], [Merlin Armin Unwavering], [Sea Boundless Spring], [Takahashi Akitoshi Seaweed], [Klein Möbius Strip I], [Freddy Focalman Nightmare], [Ye Han Sword Star].
"Here—"
"Currently, there are seven teams registered with the [Shipping Federation] for the competition!"
"With you included, there are now eight teams participating in the [Death Wheel]!"
"Among them, even the lowest-ranked [Seaweed] is a [SS-] level ship girl. Do you think there's any chance for an ordinary person to participate in this competition?"
He pointed to the registered contestants, and there were so many of them, it was like a herd of immortals!
Who isn't a supermodel guy?
Who doesn't have some real strength?
but...
Looking at the registered teams for this competition, Zheng Hao was somewhat puzzled: "That doesn't make sense... In the [Thunderstorm Cloud Competition], not to mention that [Shipping Alliance] replaced you with Ye Han, did Zhou Zhong's team also give up the competition?"
"And what about that Croatian family's name, Ken?"
